A SIGN OF PROPERTY.

The best in dicstion OF better times"
being with US that we have seen, is the
call for men. With the opening of
spring came demand for waze-workers,
and that demand has steadily grown
until the present time, when it is much
greater than the supply. Carpenters,
masons and laborers are wanted. 1t is
true, the demand comes largely from
out of town. Men from Salt Lake are
scattered along the Union Pacific as far
east as Rock Springs; they are in
Idaho, and at various points in this
Territory. We are assured that hun
dreds of mechanics and laborers could
find employment, and contractors are
puzzled to find men. Good wages are
paid, also. A community will be pros
porous when its labor is employed;
there will be prosperity and plenty
when there are no idle men. The
ownership of half the land in q
city may change every week. and
yet if the wage-workers. the men who
are dependent on their day labor for
bread, cannot find employment, there
will be no prosperity. 1t does nobody
good if millions are invested in I'M
improved lots. A millionaire who locks
his money in vault, or puts it in land
which is to lie idle, is of less real oenefi
to a community than the enterpYisinp
builder or contractor who provides en-
ployment for half-a-dozen of his fellows.
So long as there are no idle men on
our streets, or at least none are idle
who are willing to work, we will be
prosperous. IL would be better if all our
artisans, mechanics and laborers were
employed in the city, but it is fortunate
that they are at work at all.

START RIGHT THIS TIME.

Some Of the property owners on Main
treet are asking that sewer be laid
own that central thoroughfare. Their
.ouest should b. granted as matter
course. 1t is time to make a start
owards sewering the city. But now, at
ae beginning, a cautionary suggestion
lay properly be presented. When the
CORPORATION undertook the work Of pro-
iding water works syst IN for the city,
/ went about it in the wrong way, and
8 g consequence there has been trouble
yer sipce-we do not mean with the
Tater works, but with the people. The
nains were laid along the principal
treets and have since been gradually
xtended from the business centre
md more thickly populated district
owards the outskirts; but up to
he present time only a small area
f the city is reached by the pipes. The
.ompla mt comes from that wide section
rot penetrated by the mains. Tae pee
lie there claim that they 1 ave IS much
Iglt to the benefits from the water
works improvement, as those residing
the centre of town, aud there is q
,ood deal of merit in the CLAIM. The
rouble would have been avoided if
ocal tax had been levied to cover the
cost of the mains; then the people
whose property was made more valu-
lble by the proximity of the mains
would have paid for that increased
yalue and been legally and equitably
entitled to it. AS the matter stands
however, all the city is paying tor the
Vaterworks which benefits but small
portion of it. If the City Council will
profit from history and experience, it
will not impose a second troublesome
problem on the community in the sew
ers. If 1t will begin right it can continue
right. The way to start is by making
the property benefited by the sewer,
pay fo- the improvement. If Main
Street wants q sewer, let Main Street
bear the expense, and as other streets
feel able to indulge in sewers, let them
pay. 1t will be unfair and unjust to
sewer any district at the expense of the
city generally. just as it was improper
to give any district the watermains
without charge

ALetter From a Conductor.

OwKGo, T1oGA Co., N. Y, Dec. II, 1885
In 1870 l was taken suddenly with
iumbago. while running my train
through to Buffalo. l was completely
floore0, and utterly incapacitated from
attending to my duties as conductor.
shortly after was taken, every passen-
ger knew of 1t, and one gentleman, l
can remember his name now, came up
with a box of ALLcoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs and told me he would put
two OF them on. They had hardly been
put on before I was relieved somewhat,
and in fifteen or twenty minutes at n ost
1 was able to sit up straight, and in an
hour was enough better to attend to my
official work, and just kept on gaining
and feeling better until l was entirely
we'll. From that time to the present /
have time and again used these plasters,
and have yet to find them fail in reliev-
ing cough, or pain, or ache. NV wife
says she has not known what it is TO
have back-ache for more than few
hours sin ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsrERs

will obey the law, but this claim IS
laughable in The light of current pro-
ceedings. Your League agitator does
not want Mormon to obey the law; IL
DIES his soul good every time Nor
moa violates. the law, just as it grieVes
his heart whenever a Mormon inlsts
publicly upon conforming to the
statutes, The law forbids cohabitation
with more than one woman, but the
League leaders try to hedge Nor
mon about in such way that he can
not obey this law. One of the
conditions to the enjoyment of
the rights and privileges of citizen
ship imposed by the statute,
is that the individual will solemnly
swear to obey all its laws,
and especially will obey those acts which
the LOYAL League has been largely in
strumental in getting into the books;
but when Norm IN presents him self as
ready to make the promise and take the
oath, the League rears up with a pro-
test, and endeavors to prevent the swear
ing. 1t cannot be shown that any Nor
mon who has taken the oath has ever
violated it in the slightest degree, nor
that any Mormon has manifested dis
position to break his promise or the
law, yet the League would not, if it had
the power, permit any Mormon to swear
that ne would obey the law.
There must be something which the
League would have the Mormons do;
and what is it2 We think we know. If
the Mormons would step aside, and per-
NIT the League to run" the Territoy in
It's own way, the Saints would be doing
ey actly what the League wants them to
do. If the Mormons would surrender
the civil offices to the League, open the
treasury doors, and tell the League to
go in for the spoils, we don't believe the
League would interpose any objections
to the doings Of the Saints. If the
Mormons would be content to be plum
dered and despoiled of their possessions,
their political rights having been
yielded up without protest, the League
leaders would ask no more anti-M
mon legislation, nor would they be
forming secret conspiracies against the
peace OF the Saints. What the League
wants is the property of the Mormons
and the enslavement of the people.

one. And in passing it may be said
that NO instance can be found in the
history of the Mormon people where
Gentle has been treated inhOspitably
simply because he was Gentle; If
they have been unwelcome, it was be-
cause of the reason underlying all
human conduct, that they were
enemies. Every Gentle who ever
came into the midst of the community
and eyInced desire to be
friendly and just. to. investigate
our institutions in the spirit of
truth has been received with open arms.
We have taken the dove into our bosom;
could you expect US to take the rattle
snake2 Miss Kate Field, as the ap-
parently candid and unbiased observer,
was the feted guest of Mormondom.
Could she look for the same reception
now?
If the prominent business men of the
Gentle community could see fit to
press the views, which we are not with
out assurance many of them entertain,
concerning the incendiary policy of the
Tribune; the sunrise of prosperity would
burst upon Us, which yet fingers in the
dawn.
To cry Troops, more troops,''
claws, more laws" and to demand that
prejudice shall replace justice in the
courts of law, and that hordes of ire
sponsible deputies be turned loose to
unreasonabIy search and seize, smells of
rebellion. From such spectre capital,
more timid than a girl, will ever
flee. Such bugaooos are not
the creations of disordered
fancy; sthey are the deliberate
conjuration of diabolieal mind. It is
not that the Mormons are disloyal or
criminal; it is not that they are thought
to bet is that in the necessities of
Liberal politics they must be so de-
picted. The result is undeveloped
Utah, and plain case of Liberal versus
merchant and miner.
The riches of Utah mines, developed
and undeveloped, surpass the treasures
| of Aladdin's cave. Not only is Utah
the inner vault of the nations treasure
house in point of silver and perhaps
gold, but its mountains are laden with
nearly every mineral that is essential to
the prosperity of state. Its fertile
valleys, under the careful cultivation OF
an intelligent and industrious commu-
nifty, produce. at the very shafts of the
mines, the food essential to the miners
support. With q perfect climate. an
inland sea, hot springs, canyon re-
cesses and grand scenery, it becomes q
desirable abode for trsnsients. The
interests of the Gentle laborer and en-
ployer, and those OF the Mormon agri-
culturist. run along parallel lines
they areithe basis of Utah's prosperity
to which liberal policy must ever be
perpendicular.

WHAT THEY WANT.

&c would be interesting to learn all the
managers of the Loyal League would
have the Mormons do. We say man
ayers, Cor the rank and file of the Or
ganization care little or nothing about
the burning question" which SO e1-
cites the leaders. The common head
of Gentiies, the men who are doing
honest work for pay, are rarely troubled
by Mormon matters, except when they
are "laboEed" with and inspired by the
agitators who are making living in the
business of agitation. This has been
demonstrated on several occasions
when on-Mormons, at a suggestion
from their employers, have gone to the
polls and voted the Peoples ticket with
no computations of conscience. These
men did not bother themselves about
whether Mormons or Gentiles oc-
cupied the offices, and administered
the affairs of government; they
were simply interested in retaining
their employment, and receiving their
pay ICS NOh bAoG bhSg hofN
been ordered to be Loyal Leaguers, they
obey as cEeerfully and with as little
concern as they would feel if they were
to be told that the bosses wanted them
30 vote for the Mormon ticket at a
popular election. The Loyal League,
whatever the roll of membership may
show 60 the contrary, comprises not
more than a score of mon; with these
cut OF their way, there would be no
League.
Now, what would this handful OF
agitators VINO have set out to revo-
lutionize things in Utah, have the Nor
mons do? When pinned down and
